VARIANCE
18.5.5.050
The variance is necessary because the subject code provision does not account for special or unique physical circumstances of the subject site, such as
topography, natural features, adjacent development, or similar circumstances. A legal lot determination may be sufficient evidence of a hardship for
purposes of approving a variance.
The variance is the minimum necessary to address the special or unique physical circumstances related to the subject site.
The proposal's benefits will be greater than any negative impacts on the development of the adjacent uses and will further the purpose and intent of this
ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The need for the variance is not self-imposed by the applicant or property owner. For example, the variance request does not arise as result of a property
line adjustment or land division approval previously granted to the applicant.
PHYSICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
18.3.10.050
An application for a Physical Constraints Review Permit is subject to the Type I procedure in section 18.5.1.050 and shall be approved if the proposal meets all
of the following criteria.
A. Through the application of the development standards of this chapter, the potential impacts to the property and nearby areas have been considered, and
adverse impacts have been minimized.
B. That the applicant has considered the potential hazards that the development may create and implemented measures to mitigate the potential hazards
caused by the development.
C. That the applicant has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. Irreversible actions shall be considered more
seriously than reversible actions. The Staff Advisor or Planning Commission shall consider the existing development of the surrounding area, and the
maximum development permitted by this ordinance.
EXCEPTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR HILLSIDE LANDS
18.3.10.090.H
An exception under this section is not subject to the variance requirements of chapter 18.5.5 Variances. An application for an exception is
subject to the Type I procedure in section 18.5.1.050 and may be granted with respect to the development standards for Hillside Lands if
the proposal meets all of the following criteria.
1. There is demonstrable difficulty in meeting the specific requirements of this chapter due to a unique or unusual aspect of the site or proposed use of the
site.
2. The exception will result in equal or greater protection of the resources protected under this chapter.
3. The exception is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty.
4. The exception is consistent with the stated Purpose and Intent of chapter 18,3 10. Physical and Environmental Constraints Overlay chapter and section
18.3.10.090 Development Standards for Hillside Lands.
LIMITED ACTIVITIES & USES PERMIT (AMC 18.3.11.060.D)
All Limited Activities and Uses described in section 18.3.11.060 shall be subject to a Type I procedure in section 18.5.1.050. An application for a Limited Activities

A.Site Design Review
The Comprehensive Water Plan also studied the efficiency of the CityÓs
water distribution system. It was found that this system is in need of
upgrading and improvement. At present, 28 percent of the water released
from the water treatment plant is lost throughout the distribution system. A
normal system in good condition can expect 10 percent system losses.

Overall, the CityÓs water system is in need of improvement to adequately
supply the residents in the years to come. Improvements will be costly and
large capital expenditures should be planned for as part of the CityÓs
overall Capital Improvement Program.Ñ
To provide sufficient water supply
for Ashland residents#17) The City should
further study the construction of a new impoundment on Ashland Creek at the Winburn
site to augment the CityÓs storage capacity in the watershed. #18) The City should
prioritize and implement needed water system improvements, as identified by the City
Water Plan, as part of the CityÓs overall Capital Improvement Plan.

The Comprehensive Water Plan also studied the efficiency of the CityÓs
water distribution system. It was found that this system is in need of
upgrading and improvement. At present, 28 percent of the water released
from the water treatment plant is lost throughout the distribution system. A
normal system in good condition can expect 10 percent system losses.
Overall, the CityÓs water system is in need of improvement to adequately
supply the residents in the years to come. Improvements will be costly and
large capital expenditures should be planned for as part of the CityÓs
overall Capital Improvement Program.Ñ
To provide sufficient water supply
for Ashland residents#17) The City
should further study the construction of a new impoundment on Ashland Creek at the

a. The tree is proposed for removal in order to permit the application to be consistent
with other applicable Land Use Ordinance requirements and standards, including
but not limited to applicable Site Development and Design Standards in
part18.4 and Physical and Environmental Constraints in part 18.3.10.
b. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil
stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing
windbreaks.
c. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities,
sizes, canopies, and species diversity within 200 feet of the subject property. The
City shall grant an exception to this criterion when alternatives to the tree removal
have been considered and no reasonable alternative exists to allow the property to
be used as permitted in the zone.
d. Nothing in this section shall require that the residential density to be reduced below
the permitted density allowed by the zone. In making this determination, the City
may consider alternative site plans or placement of structures of alternate
landscaping designs that would lessen the impact on trees, so long as the
alternatives continue to comply with the other provisions of this ordinance.
